Berries, Leaves and Vines

If you’ve ever experienced the breathtaking beauty of autumn in the northeastern U.S., you'll understand why I still cherish those vibrant colors even after living in tropical Thailand for over 20 years. This delightful cowl pattern is inspired by the rich, earthy hues of fall and features intricate stranded colorwork designs that include berries, leaves, and twirling vines as they appear during this stunning season. The cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up, which allows for a seamless and cozy finish. With only two colors used in each round, this project strikes the perfect balance between being simple enough for beginners and engaging enough for seasoned knitters seeking a creative challenge.

Yarn Requirements: For this beautiful cowl, you'll need Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply Toes, crafted from 100% Superwash Merino Wool. Each skein contains 133 yards (121 meters) and weighs 1.3 oz (38 grams). You will require 1 skein each of 3 colors: Box Turtle (Color A), Fleur de Sel (Color B), and Turkey Red (Color C). If you prefer to use other yarns, be sure to have approximately 115 yards (110 meters) in each color of finger-weight yarn for this captivating autumn-inspired piece.

This pattern not only celebrates the colors of the fall season but also makes for an enjoyable knitting experience that's ideal for gifts or personal wear. Whether you're an avid knitter or just beginning your journey, this cowl will become a treasured addition to your wardrobe. Explore your creativity and bring a touch of autumn into your life with this stunning design!
